Masso
“The only weird thing is they only accept American Express as credit card payments, but they do an ATM machine onsite.”
“It was very nice with the fireplace keeping everyone warm on a cold March evening.”
“As a dog owner, very specific places we go to for brunch or dinners with outdoor seating allowing us to bring along our 4 legged friends.”

We had the mozzarella tomato and basil and the lasagna. The mozzarella tomato and basil was good a little more olive oil and juicer tomatoes would have made it a lot better!
The lasagna was too liquid, sauce was all over the place with hardly any meat and pasta. More soup than a lasagna as my girlfriend would say.
The ambiance was really nice with lots of young crowd only wish the food was better
AMEX or CASH only!
I came here for lunch. It's located in the heart of LIC. Masso is a trendy italian/cafe restaurant. I have been tempted to eat here in the past, but the lunch menu didn't quite appeal to me. I find that some of the lunch items are on the pricey end and menu is part italian and part cafe. You don't get the whole menu experience. I finally decided to come in today and give it a try.
I ordered the chicken parm. It was a very nice portion. Got additional parm and fresh ground pepper. I find this to be the standard at italian restaurant but since I went to one restaurant that didn't offer it, I feel the need to put it in my review. The parm was delicious. Good amount of tomato sauce and cheese. It was flavorful. I would have been a bigger fan of this place, but the price and the credit cards limitation drops a star and half. 3.5 stars IMO.
I was not really a fan of this place, my GF and I both got paninis, mine was pretty good. The brunch menu is pretty weak and no drink comes with it. OK they did have some kinda deal on mimosa's but only till 2:00 or something. The beer list also was lacking. Its also cash only which they told us afterwards…Had I know and I would have left to begin with.
Masso looks like all of the other fun restaurants on Vernon Boulevard. In fact, the sight of it pushed me over the edge and caused me to loudly proclaim "I shall live here one day!" to no one in particular on that fateful Sunday. I need to stop loudly proclaiming things so often.
We got take out for 2 meals a day during the first 14 days in the neighborhood. Masso was the lowlight.
With the menu lacking any standouts and my taste skewing towards comfort food, I ordered the chicken parmesan. About an hour later, it arrived. I received one large piece of extremely breaded chicken that was dried out on the inside and buried in basic tomato sauce. While they did generously include stale bread, it lacked pasta, a salad, or something else to justify the $14 price (before tax and tip).
Given the bounty of excellent Italian options in LIC and Astoria, I will never proclaim anything near or about Masso again.
Stopped in here to watch the World Cup. They had lots of fun beers on tap, good appetizers, and great service. It was a really cute place – bright and open – and the service was excellent.
Came here for brunch. Had a positive experience. The restaurant is very neat and I love the decor ( I am laughing at myself while I write this ridiculous statement).
I came for brunch on Sunday and didn't go disappointed. Had the eggs Benedict with salmon. The salmon was very tasty.
I also had the quinoa dish with a poached egg on. It is really simple, but very well made. After this experience I'd be curious to try this restaurant another time.
We came here for brunch because we live in the neighborhood and we wanted to try every restaurant on the strip. Masso looks legit and have been in this area for a long time. I like they have windows that open to the floor and the breeze comes in when you eat. They have great dinner specials too.
The brunch here is alright. I do enjoy my scrambled eggs with sausage. It is probably the best dish among 4 entrees we tried. My husband's burger was nothing exciting and not much dressing on top. My friend got their sandwich but the bacon was overcooked and dry.
It will be hard to come back again unless we just ordered the wrong dishes on the menu.
Be prepared to use your Amex or pay in cash. The food here is good – nothing spectacular or mind blowing.
You can also sit outside when the weather is nicer and people watch. For what it is, Masso is a good neighborhood place to grab a bite.
